No clue if this is true
- Thread starter Dontworryboutit23
- Start date
Michigan, UCLA, and SMU are all being rumored
God idc who it is, just please leave. He could go coach over in China for all I care
Wholleeeee lotta money in that SMU program. Cals mentor Larry Brown also did a little stint there as his sunset tour. SMU just joined the ACC
Cal had a very shady history when he was hired. Not saying Bruce pearl should be the first call but his past is a non issue IMO. His show cause penalty was 13 years ago.
It’s either that or the boosters and Mitch are encouraging him to move on to a new opportunity
Yeah supposedly Cal was contacted today from a school that would pay him around the same. They didn’t say who, but mentioned it was a NIKE school lol 😂
Well if that mystery school wants help getting him out of Lexington I will gladly help
They just wanted liked and follows. Nothing more than an attention whore.
Couldn’t disagree more….a long investigation by UK was done into Cal before we made a job offer to make sure there wasn’t anything there besides accusations. Pearl has actual NCAA violation convictions AND it’s widely known as a young coach he turned in another school to the NCAA for violations which is an absolute no-no in the coaching profession. I respect that it’s a non-issue for you, but it’s a massive issue for me and I think it would be for the athletic department and whoever gets hiring authority for the next coach. (Don’t think they let Mitch do it again)
You and the rest of the whiners screaming through your computer screens at me for that statement can disregard everything Cal's done from UMass to 2020, but that's on you all. He's a better recruiter than coach by a long shot, but he's won a national championship and been to six final fours. He's taken three teams to final fours. He's been named the SEC COTY four times while at Kentucky and the Naismith COTY thrice in his career. He's a good coach whether you accept that fact or not.
Has he soured here? Yep. Is he absolutely incapable of change? Yes. Have the past three seasons felt like one long kick in the peaches? Yep. It's time for him to go. There's no question about that. That said, I'm not backing down from my assertion that he's a great coach.
Anthony Davis and doron lamb won a title, cal started his chicken shit coaching with 10 mins left on that game and let Kansas get back into the game
I am calling BS on this as we can not be that lucky to get rid of him. I just want him GONE by this week-end ! I am afraid we are stuck with him.
The entire fanbase is pissed. This isn’t a rare one-off occurrence. This is a pattern of suck dating back to 2019.
I was one of Cal’s most ardent supporters until 9-16, but gave him a pass. St. Peter’s left me with a “take him or leave him” attitude. A&M pissed me off to the point that if we failed to reach the Sweet 16, I was done with him.
Last night was the final straw for me. He’s embarrassed our program multiple times on the grandest of stages and squandered one of the most talented (on paper) teams in our history.
And if everything I am seeing on social media and reading texts and Facebook messages from other UK fans I know personally are any indicator, nearly everyone is fed up and wants a divorce.
The fanbase seems united today, but in a very negative way.
Good coach? Used to be a good coach but lost his edge.
Kansas was never out of that game, IMO. They were a phenomenal team and got to New Orleans for a reason. Robinson was an absolute force.
That said, you're not one of the whiners I'm referring to. You're a civil poster and I appreciate your input. 👍

Hire the right coach and attack the transfer portal like their is no tomorrow. Plenty of studs there to exceed anything we’ve done over the last 5 years.
I tried talking to one in that group yesterday and they started getting defensive and taking shots at me. Their favorite coach looks like crap and they can’t take it
The big from Rutgers just announced his list and Kentucky didn’t even reach out, that’s very telling
The writing is clearly on the wall now.
Oh, I agree that version of Cal is gone. I'm well aware that he's been trash for the past few years. I don't watch games live anymore because I have better odds of winning the lottery than enjoying the shit show that is now UK basketball. I do watch replays, but even those are hard to watch.
That doesn't erase his past accomplishments, though. He's an awful tactician, but one of the best recruiters in college and a great motivator (though you wouldn't know that from the last three post seasons). He's got six FFs to his name for a reason. That's all I'm saying.
Please let another school make this break-up easy on everyone. Hopefully it will happen soon so that UK can position themselves for the next couch.
As flattering as my addition to this guest list is, no, I won't attend your birthday party. I will, however, be happy to offer you a crisp, virtual high-five. ✋
